Probably not all of them, but the Cossacks for sure, and probably the Bandidos. Some of the "criminal gang" clubs represented with members at Twin Peaks that Sunday have very few members, and didn't even register on LEO radar.
-- The whole thing was likely started by an agent/provocateur un-holstering his piece as a psychological signal that it was time to rock and roll, but possibly not actually firing a shot. --
That's possible, and so is even less direct provocation. Manson didn't kill anybody, he manipulated followers to perpetrate murder.
“Some of the “criminal gang” clubs represented with members at Twin Peaks that Sunday have very few members, and didn’t even register on LEO radar.”
That’s the nature of these groups, the big ones generally have lots of small support clubs, and start new ones all the time. Many of them start with just two or three guys, who are not deemed quite “worthy” to join the mother organization, at least not yet. They’re given a charter to start a support club and recruit, and be ready to do whatever the mother club needs them to do, legally or otherwise, in order to prove their loyalty and possibly earn their way into being patched in to the main club.
One of the primary duties of these support clubs is to show up whenever there is going to be trouble with other gangs, to boost the numbers of the main gang. That’s exactly what we saw happen at Twin Peaks, with Bandidos support clubs from all over the state showing up at this meeting, even though most did not live in the district that the meeting was supposed to be for.
